Flow Chart Symbols


Flowchart

In the previous section of this chapter, we have learnt to write algorithms, i.e. step-bystep process of solving a problem. We can also show these steps in graphical form by using some symbols. This is called flowcharting.

Flowchart Symbols

Some of the standard symbols along with respective function(s) that are used for making flowchart are as follows:

Qus. 1 : The graphical representation of algorithm is

  1. program
  2. Flowchart
  3. statement
  4. Algorithm
Qus. 2 : What is the symbol used to represent start and stop of a flowchart ?

  1. Oval
  2. Rectangle
  3. Arrow
  4. Diamond
Qus. 3 : A process is expressed in a flowchart by

  1. Rectangle
  2. A Circle
  3. Parallelogram
  4. A Diamond
Qus. 4 : Flowchart and algorithms are used for

  1. Better programming
  2. easy testing and debugging
  3. Efficient Coding
  4. All
Qus. 5 : In a flow chart, which of the following is used to test the condition ?

  1. Terminal
  2. Process
  3. Input/Output
  4. Decision
Qus. 6 : A detailed flow chart is called as______?

  1. stack
  2. macro
  3. micro
  4. union
Qus. 7 : Which of the following symbols is used to represent output in a flow chart?

  1. Square
  2. Circle
  3. Parallelogram
  4. Triangle
Qus. 8 : Which symbol is used as a flowline to connect two blocks in a flow chart?

  1. arrow
  2. circle
  3. box
  4. parallelogram
Qus. 9 : Which symbol is used for input and output in flowchart?

  1. Rectangle
  2. Oval
  3. Parallelogram
  4. Diamond
Qus. 10 : In flow chart Oval shape is used for?

  1. Input/Output
  2. Decision
  3. Arithmetic instruction
  4. Start/Stop
Qus. 11 : which symbol is used for Decision making in flowchart

  1. Diamond
  2. Oval
  3. square
  4. Both A and B
Qus. 12 : Which flowchart symbol represents Start/Stop?

  1. Arrow
  2. Oval
  3. Rectangle
  4. Diamond
Qus. 13 : Which flowchart symbol represents a process?

  1. Parallelogram
  2. Circle
  3. Rectangle
  4. Diamond
Qus. 14 : Which criterion best determines whether a flowchart solution is correct and complete?

  1. Uses minimum symbols
  2. Has only one loop
  3. Produces correct output for all valid inputs
  4. Uses standard variable names
Qus. 15 : In a flowchart, the diamond-shaped symbol is used to represent:

  1. Input/Output operation
  2. Processing step
  3. Decision making
  4. Loop termination
Qus. 16 : Which subtle flaw makes a flowchart logically incorrect even if all symbols are syntactically valid?

  1. Use of multiple terminators
  2. Absence of comments
  3. Use of rectangles instead of parallelograms
  4. A decision block with paths that do not reconverge logically
